Organic Cotton Blackout Curtains
Avocado sets the gold standard for material safety, using GOTS-certified organic cotton and a non-toxic recycled polyester lining. These curtains are Greenguard Gold certified, ensuring they don't off-gas VOCs into your sleeping environment while providing 100% light blockage.
Quality & Materials
The face fabric is 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton. The blackout lining is made from 100% recycled polyester, avoiding the toxic chemical sprays found in budget options.
Evidence & Testing
Holds both GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and Greenguard Gold certifications. These are third-party verified for both environmental impact and chemical safety.
Brand Transparency
Avocado is a Certified B Corp and publicly discloses their supply chain and certification IDs, making them the most transparent brand in the textile space.
Value Assessment
At the higher end of the price spectrum, but the longevity of organic cotton and the health benefits of zero VOCs justify the investment for sensitive sleepers.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most blackout curtains use heavy acrylic or PVC-based coatings that emit a strong chemical odor (off-gassing) and are not biodegradable. Avocado avoids these chemicals entirely while maintaining high aesthetic and performance standards.
